Stewart Surging

Ty Stewart just catapulted himself back up into the upper echelon of chip supremacy after winning a big pot in a hand against Jake Solis.

Stewart opened the pot with a raise to 4,000 and Solis countered with a reraise to 12,000. Dustin Gomes looked as though he might join in the fun for a second, but eventually let go of his hand. The action then folded back around to Stewart, who quickly made the call.

The flop came down {3-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts} and both players checked. The {J-Hearts} was the next card off the deck and again, both players checked. When the {6-Spades} fell on the river, Stewart fired a 15,000 bet with no hesitation and Solis insta-called.

Stewart turned over two black jacks, good for queens full, and Solis mucked in frustration, as he was left with 45,600 in chips. Stewart, meanwhile, jumped back up to 124,000 which is currently good for second place in chips.
